I have successfully installed PDCalendar (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/pdcalendar), thanks to PeterD for a great package! I am having trouble with setting up my first calendar, though.
I have tried following PeterD's instructions, but all I ever see is "Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\PDCTableCalendar.xslt", so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My setup is as follows:
Clean 4.0 installation
Installed PDCalendar
Added an "Events Calendar" doc type with associated template (this template has the PDTableCalendar macro)
Added an "Event" doc type with one property: event of type PDCalendar
Added a content page using the Events Calendar template
Added a child content page to the Events Calendar using the Event template
Set a start date for the Event page
Saved and published both pages
I've tried modifying the PDCTableCalendar.xslt to reference different node names (event, Event, Event Calendar) but I continue to see the same error message.
I found this post, which seemed helpful: http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst7629p2_Event-Calendar-for-Umbraco-version-4.aspx. It references a days.xml file within the Scripts folder, which I did not have after package installation. I added it manually using the patter that PeterD refers to, but I continue to receive the parsing error.
Does anyone have any suggestions or past experiences with this type of error? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think the solution is probably quite simple, you need to import the XSLT extension's namespace in your XSLT file. So the lines before <xsl:output should read:
Notice the xmlns:pdcalendar and exclude-result-prefixes addition.
If you create a new file in the Umbraco backend, these get added automatically, after you create the file the first time, you can start editing them in any editor that you like.
@Peter, that solved it! I can't tell you the excitement at finally seeing a calendar control render. Thank you so much for your help and cool control. I can't wait to start working with it now.
I'm new to Umbraco and XSLT, but am familiar with XML and am picking it up as fast as I can. This really is an amazing CMS, one that I plan to use for a number of clients in the future.
I know this thread is old, but i had a similar issue after installing PDCalendar on 4.5.1. When i tried to edit an XSLT file it complained about PDCalendar.dll in bin/bin/PDCalendar.dll. Seems it was looking in bin the bin again. I removed bin/ from the xsltExtensions.config file and left just assembly="/PDCalendar" and all XSLT worked again

Addendum:
When I try to modify my PDCTableCalendar.xslt file, I receive the following exception:
I previously used a text editor to modify the XSLT file manually, rather than using Umbraco. I must be doing something blatantly wrong.
Thank you,

Hi Jeremy,
you might want to check the xsltExtensions.config file in the config-folder.
My guess is that there's something missing, it should contain a line:
Wow, thank you guys so much for the help.
@Sebastiaan, I really appreciate the insight!
